    Good morning.
    I have bought bilstein adjustable coilovers but I cant figure how to remove the top of the rear shock ie the adjuster, so I can get it through the rear mount of the car.
    Please help 15604153314575390610282618633531.

    Just put a spanner on the hex at your finger and it'll unscrew

    Yeah managed to find the grub screws and have successfully removed the ends.
    I the problem I have now recording the ends . I have put them all back together but the dial doesn't click at each increment any more, it just seems to spin freely through the adjustment range rather than being notched. I don't know if I have bust it or just put the dial on wrong ?
